QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Frank and Catherine,

The two Gray and two RGB icc profiles that come with QTR are generic
printing profiles that can compensate
for the dmax's of either matte papers or photo papers.  It's most
obvious on the matte papers
with a lower dmax (i.e. blacks are not as dark).   The idea is to use
color management software to
make the print look closer to what you see on the screen.   They are
for printing -- softproofs won't
show anything different.

On PC's you Convert-to-profile to the appropriate icc, then save and
print with QTR.   On Mac the
idea is to just select it as a Print Profile in PS.  (Unfortunately
CS4 and I think CS5 have some
trouble with grayscale color management so I use CS3).

Also the RGB versions are functionally equivalent but needed if you
are using a program that only
supports RGB, not grayscale.
